Ginetta Factory Tour - Fri 21st Nov MOVED FROM 14th Nov

[mdmax72]

That's what I'd got in mind to get there for 10am and grab a coffee.

Yes, our plan too from the West Midlands

[DaveW]

It is my plan to depart Birch almost straight after 8:45am which gives us reasonable time to do 50 miles. Hoping that will result in us getting there not long after yourselves if you plan to there at 10am.

See you in the morning.

I am likely to be in my silver 928 (J928 CES) and can be reached on 07889 804598.

Should also have said that Mike Simpson has advised that parking at the factory may become an issue given the numbers attending. There are a few spaces within their factory boundary in front of the building, otherwise we'll need to park outside on the adjacent street. If you are arriving from the M1, they are just off the main roundabout on the right as you enter Garforth.

See you in the morning!

Utterly brilliant day at the Ginetta factory; superb, and John and I thank you very much for the organisation.
Lots to think about!

[DaveW]

Glad you enjoyed it! Everyone I spoke to said much the same. Interesting business model...and as you say - very thought provoking!

Huge thanks Dave for organising it .... And great to meet you for the 1st time too

Fascinating business and refreshingly open . If I had the cash I'd have signed up for the club ginetta cars on the spot ( £30k for car incl Trackdays, race licence, race series supporting the GT's etc )

Jo was impressed with it all too. I was surprised by the quality of the cars and the use of local engineering companies wherever poss. I've now got a lot more respect for Mr Tomlinson

Dave, your the man. Thanks for organising the tour. Worth the drive up, just need to find a spare 30k now...

Would of loved to have followed you guys to the pub for lunch and chat but had to make tracks over to Selby to collect some parts. Another time.

Hi James,

Nice to meet you folks too. Completely agree.

Everyone,

Just checked my email and Mike Simpson requested that I post the following for the benefit of those who attended today. I have just made a donation myself. His foundation supports those suffering from motorsport injuries, and a range of other causes.

Hi David,

Thank you for taking the time to organise the tour.
One thing I forgot to mention is that we would appreciate a donation to Lawrence's charity.
I have attached a PDF brochure on the charity.

Can you pass this on to your member's, as a contribution will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Kind Regards

Looks like the JustGiving link isn't working. I will check with him on Monday.
